How To Obtain a Hardcopy of This Handbook

This manual is also published in notebook (loose-leaf) form. For care facility volunteers and staff, as our resources allow [AND, if the material presented in this website or Adobe Reader format does not meet your needs], we will send you a hardcopy of this handbook, at no charge to you; just see the instructions below.

In addition to the handbook, Christian Concourse prints and distributes a large print “hymnal” specially for use in care facility ministry. They are lightweight paperbacks that include the words to 31 old-time favorites and 5 Christmas carols listed below. (The music score is not included.) There is a page with a brief description of the Gospel and two pages of favorite, large print scriptures taken from the King James Version.

To provide musical accompaniment for the hymn book, we have produced a set of two instrumental CDs. The music on these CDs is slower and in a lower key than they are written in to accommodate the vocal limitations of the elderly. At the time of this printing, a CD set with vocal backup is being developed. It should be ready for distribution by next year.

The hard copy handbooks, hymn books and the CDs are available to the volunteers and activity directors of care facilities by simply filling out a form and writing us a note.

Instructions for requesting materials:

For a care facility volunteer: send us by U. S. Mail a memo telling us how many you can use reasonably, along with a completed Pastor’s Recommendation Form ( Click here to see the form in Section 9, How to Volunteer in a Local Care Facility). Note: one handbook per group or congregation.

Or, for a care facility activity director: send us by U. S. Mail a memo telling us how many you can reasonably use, along with a completed Care Facility Questionnaire (Click here to load an Adobe Reader file of the questionnaire -- from Section 13, Tools) . Note: one handbook per facility.

Mail to:
Christian Concourse Ministries, Inc.
1543 Norcova Ave.
Norfolk, VA 23502-1720

As our resources allow we will send them at no charge to you via U.S. Mail.

Please note: the hardcopy version of this manual, the hymnbooks and the CDs are NOT for sale - we loan them to you for as long as they are useful to you or until you wear them out - it is our labor of love for care facility residents.

We ask all who share our burden for nursing home ministry to prayerfully consider supporting this missionary effort with a financial donation. Our ability to continue this work is totally dependent on private contributions from folks like you who see what we are doing and want to help sustain it. We are not underwritten or endowed by any denomination or group. We thank you for your consideration.
